Hola! Last night in Barcellona, this month has FLOWN.
I'm very happy with my level of Spanish, it's enough for me to have decent conversations. Actually, I fear it's better than my French, which I've been studying for the past three years. I would have REALLY liked to stay a bit longer to get more fluent though. My big fear came true, French has almost entirely slipped out of my brain in the last four weeks. The course has also made me get to know a few people from Eastern European countries, of which I hadn't met anyone before.
I spent five lovely days in Mallorca. Visited the island a fair bit, beached, visited the charming capital Palma, siesta-ed, enjoyed the numerous free chupitos offered by clubs near my hostel.
In Barcelona, I also caught up with Tom again (we've now caught up in 4 countries together!) and my friend Alizee from Oz and her friend Anne-Marie. We went to watch a 1960 French film open-air film with Spanish subtitles, interesting. To ensure I didn't miss out on enjoying Barcelona, I rode my bike for numerous hours around the city, exploring its most unusual quartiers and sometimes snacking on churros whilst riding.
I also visited a lovely nearby beach town (and gay holiday destination), Sitges, the Casa Battlo, and finally the Sagrada Familia, which was totally worth it.
The last night, my flatmates cooked me dinner and we enjoyed some last times together... packing my suitcase again was a bit sad, but less than when leaving Milan.
I haven't posted any photos on the blog, but there are some wonderful ones on my facebook page which might be worth a look - the link is in a previous blog post.
Tomorrow I'll be back in Conegliano, my parents are waiting for me! After seven months it'll surely be nice to see them, get spoilt and most of all RELAX. Oh, and I'm REALLY looking forward to a decent pizza and gelato, of which I've been deprived for a whole month.
Hasta luego ;)
